| Name | Jason Z |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving/facing (mostly south). It appeared at the top of my left/driver's side window. Seated in the car, in the direction I was travelling, I was looking just to the left through the driver's side window. It seemed to be nearly above me at the top edge of my window. The size of the fireball body diminished slowly in the first second, and just after a second the body size dimished more rapidly. There was no decernable arc in the trail. |

| Remarks | Train was mostly white and visible for as long as the fireball was visible. Center of the fireball body was initally very bright, grass green for the first half-second to 1 second, then faded to white from the center of body outward. Inbetween transition from green to white I *thought* it looked silver. Initially, part of both sides/edges of the tail, closest to the body, were green. |
